Life Groups and Discipleship

Life Groups

Life Groups are the best way to meet others, grow spiritually, and experience the best of FBCIT. These groups gather weekly for Bible study, fellowship, and prayer, helping you build authentic friendships and live out your faith. No matter your age or stage of life, there’s a group for you!

Each Life Group has its own personality, so we encourage you to visit a few before settling in. Groups engage in weekly study, monthly fellowship, and quarterly mission projects, fostering a strong community that serves and grows together. As you connect, you'll not only deepen your faith but also find opportunities to serve and invite others to experience the same.

On your first Sunday, stop by the Welcome Center and speak with one of our helpful greeters. They will gladly identify a Life Group for you and personally accompany you to the room.
